Options --> Controls --> Keys -->Game Control; Buddy Notes
« on: January 10, 2007, 05:18:50 pm »
(Hope this doesn't conflict with the WISHLIST RULES, i.e. has been mentioned in the past...didn't find anything related with Search)

1) Game Control options

1.1) Option "Quest" (to open the quest window, of course) would be helpful, wouldn't it?

1.2) An option (instead of default <Up>/<Down>) for stepping through the Chat history would be very helpful, wouldn't it?

Don't remember the countless times when I intended to start walking, but were having a talk before...sh**...

a) ...hit <Enter> to leave the Chat window...sh**...is somebody nearby? Does she/he/they rate me as an amateur, since I just sent a msg a second time which is completely off-topic now?...who knows...hit <Enter> to leave Chat window...really start walking

b) ...decide whether to delete the chat line's contents or to scroll down the history to the empty line at the end (depends on which key feels more comfortable at this moment: <Backspace>, <Del>, <Up>, <Down>)...hit <Enter> to leave Chat window...really start walking

c) ...switch your preferred hand to mouse and click into the landscape...really start walking

Does/did this happen to me only?

2) Chat window

(Standard) Text selection capabilities would be nice: Shift+(Left|Right|Home|End), Crtl+Shift+(Left|Right)

Cursor movement capabilities, too: Ctrl+(Left|Right)

3) Buddy notes (like quest notes)

Since I don't remember where I met the dozens of buddies first, how they thankfully supported me, what (important) things we talked about, which adventures we passed together, what we planned to do next, ...


P.S.: Though it pleases me, warms my heart and supports me mentally, please consider the WISHLIST RULES and do not dis-/agree herein  :-X

Given that I'm almost always on "Free rotation" camera, I need a hand at the mouse to walk, anyway, so that is usually what I do. Regardless, one could set the "toggle chat" button to something other than "enter" so that no messages are sent. However, this didn't (still doesn't?) work reliably, so I set it back to enter. Also, I'd like a key to merely escape from whatever is on the screen, possibly closing one window at a time, and also leaving (not closing) the chat window. It'd be one-way (not toggle), and therefore you could press it regardless of whether or not the chat box is actually selected or not (even better, the "toggle chat" button should be split into "focus chat" and the general escape button).
